Admitting there is a problem is the first step toward finding a solution. When was the last time your facility assessed patient flow within the organization and to external providers?

Today’s healthcare executive has matured into a data-driven, tech-savvy leader who knows, and is comfortable with change. Most have cut their teeth on it. They have been forced to take up arms in the communication technology revolution and change how their health systems communicate, process, and talk to each other.

The ongoing focus of governments (and the public) to reduce wait times to an acceptable standard in health systems has left healthcare executives with a significant challenge – to get the wait down. The question is where to start. The answer lies in understanding what the current wait times are and the contributing factor; then incrementally reducing actual wait times towards an acceptable target by aggressively managing the performance of healthcare providers and creating greater transparency of the actual results.
